Metabolic Effect of Dietary Erythritol Intake on <i>Escherichia coli</i>

Artificial sweeteners are man-made substitutes for diet that needs low sugars or caloric intake. Recent studies have shown AS consumption is possibly associated with metabolic disturbances and intestinal flora disturbances. Erythritol a kind of 4-carbon sugar substitute in the form alcohol, which may contribute to prevention gingivitis by inhibit biofilm formation oral bacteria. Despite these studies, data on how erythritol affects commensal causing pathogenicity remain limited. In this study, microbiota (Escherichia coli) models were used investigate effects different concentration metabolism bacteria, especially Escherichia coli’s growth, transformation efficiency hemolytic activity. The results showed decreased bacteria’s ability normally grow higher concentration, biofilms varying degrees. And addition an effect promote growth coli. Habitual artificial continues increase was maintenance micro-ecological equilibrium gut.
